1970년부터 1980년까지 연세대학교 치료방사선과에서 방사선치료 받은 비강 및 부비동에 발생한 NHL환자 15예를 대상으로 후향성 분석을 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 병기분포는 13예가 IE 2예가 IIE였고 TNM병기에 따르면 7예가 국소병변이 진행된 T3, T4 환자였다. 2. Overall 5년 생존율을 $25\%$, IE는 $28\%$, IIE는 $0\%$였다. 3. 병기별 치료실패율은 T1, T2는 $33\%(2/6),\; T3,\;T_4는\;86\%(6/7),\;IIE$에서는 $100\%(2/2)$였다. 4. 방사선 조사량이 55Gy 이상인 경우 $100\%$의 완전 관해율을 보였으며 55Gy이하인 경우 $73\%$의 완전 관해율을 보였다. 5. 비강 및 부비동의 NHL의 Ann Arbor병기 분류와 함께 TNM 병기도 예후에 중요한 요인이 될 것 같다. 6. 국소병변이 진행된 병기 T3, T4와 IIE 환자에서는 화학요법제의 병용치료가 필요할 것 같다.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma(ALCL) is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL) populated with anaplastic, often bizarre cells that express CD30 (Ki-1) antigen. The unusual histologic and cytologic features may cause confusion with other neoplasms, such as poorly differentiated carcinoma, melanoma, Hodgkin's disease, or true histiocytic lymphoma. Although the cytologic features of ALCL have been well described, there are few reports about cytologic findings of the sarcomatold variant of ALCL. We experienced a case of fine needle aspiration(FNA) cytologic findings of ALCL which mimicks malignant fibrous histiocytoma. FNA cytology of chest wall mass in a 62-year-old female with a history of peripheral T-cell lymphoma(Lennert lymphoma) revealed a heterogeneous population of single cells and poorly cohesive cells with large, pleomorphic nuclei and spindle cells gathering around vascular structures within an inflammatory background. Additional features of the neoplastic cells were eccentric, multilobated nuclei with occasional 'wreath-like' configuration; abundant cytoplasm with vacuolization; and prominent nucleoli. The cytologic features suggested sarcoma, especially malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was made retrospectively with an aid of immunocytochemical staining.

Background: Pediatric lymphadenopathy is a challenging medical situation for the child patient, the parents, and the physician. Although the bulk of masses will be benign the fear of malignancy is omnipresent. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the common cytopathological patterns of lymphadenopathy among Sudanese children. Methods: One hundred pediatric patients presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy were included in the study, their ages ranging from 2 to 14 years, with a mean age of 7 years. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations and FNA materials were prospectively obtained. Results: FNA was performed in 100 cases (100%). There were no technical complications. All cases confirmed adequacy of specimen. Overall, FNA demonstrated 90 (90%) benign lesions and 10 (10%) malignant diagnosis. The benign lesions were reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (n=64), followed by benign granulomatous disease (n=26). Of the 10 cases diagnosed with malignancy, 7 (7%) were cases of non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma and the remaining 3 (3%) were Hodgkin's lymphomas. Conclusion: Pediatric lymphadenopathy is common in Sudan. CLA is the common frequent site. Lymphoma represents a major challenge in this setting.

Using the Lorenz curve that is proved to be a powerful tool to measure the income inequality within a population of income receivers, we propose the normalized sample Lorenz curve for the goodness-of-fit test that is very important test in statistical analysis. For two hodgkin's disease data sets, we compare the Q-Q plot and the proposed normalized sample Lorenz curve.

통계학의 주요 관심인 표본의 정규성 검정을 위해 통계패키지에서 사용하고 있는 Q-Q(quantile-quantile) 플롯을 중도절단표본에서 사용함으로 발생하는 문제점을 알아보고 이를 보완하여 수정된 Q-Q플롯과 수정된 Normalized Sample Lorenz Curve(NSLC)을 제시한다. 예제로 Hodgkin's disease 데이터를 중도절단하여 새로 제시한 Normalized Sample Lorenz Curve을 그려보았다.

Because most common assumption is normality in statistical analysis, testing normality is very important. The Q-Q plot is a powerful tool to test normality with full samples in statistical package. But the plot can't test normality in type-II censored samples. This paper proposed the modified the Q-Q plot and the modified normalized sample Lorenz curve(NSLC) for normality test in the type-II censored samples. Using the two Hodgkin's disease data sets and the type-II censored samples, we picture the modified Q-Q plot and the modified normalized sample Lorenz curve.

An oncopathological state assessment was conducted among adults, children and teenagers in Aktobe region for 2004-2013. Overall the burden of mortality was in the range of 94.8-100.2 per 100,000 population, without any obvious trend over time. Ranking by pathology, the highest incidences among women were registered for breast cancer (5.8-8.4), cervix uteri (2.9-4.6), ovary (2.4-3.6) and corpus uteri, stomach, esophagus, without any marked change over time except for a slight rise in cervical cancer rates. In males, the first place in rank was trachea, bronchus and lung, followed by stomach and esophagus, which are followed by bladder, lymphoid and hematopoietic tissues pathology. Agian no clear trends were apparent over time. In children, main localizations in cancer incidence blood (acute lymphocytic leukemia, lymphosarcoma, acute myeloid leukemia, Hodgkin's disease), brain and central nervous system, bones and articular cartilages, kidneys, and eye and it's appendages, in both sexes. Similarly, in young adults, the major percentage was in blood and lymphatic tissues (acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease) a significant percentage accruing to lymphosarcoma, lymphoma, other myeloid leukemia and hematological malignancies as well as tumors of brain and central nervous system, bones and articular cartilages. This initial survey provides the basis for more detailed investigation of cancer epidemiology in Aktobe, Kazakhstan.

1979년 2월부터 1982년 9월까지 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 두경부에 국한된 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma환자중 근치적 방사선치료를 받은 54예를 대상으로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 원발병소의 관해율은 완전관해가 $81\%$, 부분관해가 $19\%$이었다. 2. 2년 생존을 및 무병 생존율은 각각 $57\%,\;45\%$, 이었으며 병기별, 발생부위별, 임파절 종대의 앙측성 여부, 조직아형에 따라 생존율에 통제학적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 3. 재발율은 $54.5\%$(24예/44예)로 국소재발이 $29\%$, 원격전이가 $54\%$, 원격전이와 국소재발이 공존했던 경우가 $17\%$로 $92\%$가 2년이내에 재발하였다. 4. 원발병소의 크기가 6cm이상이지나 다발성인 경우, 원발병소가 임파절외 장기 또는 조직아형이 미만성이거나 대세포형인 경우 원격전이율이 높아 국소방사선치료후 전신적 항암요법의 추가치료가 고러되어야 한다.

Primary lymphoid tumors of orbit are rare. Sometimes they pose difficulty in differentiating malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the orbit from benign lymphoid hyperplasia or pseudotumor of the orbit by growth characteristics and histologic examination of a biopsy specimen. Consequently, systemic work-up for staging of the disease before the initiation of treatment is essential. All lymphoid tumors of the orbit are radiosensitive and the response to radiotherapy is rapid and complete. Radiation dose for permanent control varies from 2,400 to 4,500rads in $2.5\~4$ weeks depending on extent and location of the disease. A case of localized lymphoma of the orbit was treated with radiotherapy. For the following 15 months, the patient was clinically free of disease without any evidence of side effects of radiation treatment.

Objective: To evaluate stromal cells of the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) in bone marrow trephine biopsy (BMTB) specimens, with a focus on fibronectin, tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) and L-selectin in Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients, before and after therapy. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 de novo NHL patients, 64 with B-cell lymphomas 80%, (follicular cell lymphoma (FCL) in 32, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) in 12, and diffuse large cell lymphoma in 20) and 16 with T-cell lymphomas (20%) all diagnosed as T-Lymphoblastic lymphomas, were evaluated before and after therapy. For comparison, 25 age and sex matched BM donors, were included as a control group. BMTB material and BM aspirates were taken for morphological assessment of stromal cells, the plasma of these samples being examined for $TNF{\alpha}$ and L-selectin by ELISA, and fibronectin by radial immunodiffusion (RID). Results: BM stromal cells comprising reticular macrophages and fibroblasts were elevated in 53.3% of NHL cases at diagnosis, while BM fibronectin levels were decreased and BM $TNF{\alpha}$ and L-selectin were higher than in controls (p<0.05). In NHL cases, elevated values of BM $TNF{\alpha}$ and BM L-selectin were associated with signs of aggressive disease, including >1 extra nodal sites, detectable B symptoms, high grade, BM and CNS invasion, and a high International prognostic index (IPI) (p<0.05). Conclusion: BMM components, $TNF{\alpha}$, L-selectin and fibronectin, in NHL can be useful in evaluating disease activity, extent and response to treatment and as prognostic markers according to the IPI.
